Materials: Assigning characteristics and values to elements. Did you know that it is possible to associate an attribute with several elements of a single object? Materials define the display attributes of MinePlan elements and data and can be accessed in the project's “_msresources/materials” folder. They allow you to associate a common set of attributes to several MinePlan elements at once, such as color, visibility and labels, as well as defining specific values to use when coding other objects, or even a block model. In a project, for example, with several lithologies, each one can be associated with a Material so that the visualization is different between them. This procedure can be performed using the Attribute Tool located in the “Element” menu. Figure 1: Material allocation by lithology. Wassup, did you like this tip?

Export to Multiple Files: Export objects to multiple files automatically. Did you know that MinePlan 3D (MP3D) has a feature that allows you to export a set of objects to external formats automatically? The Export to Multiple Files functionality is accessed by right-clicking on the group of objects selected to export, via the path Export > Export to Multiple Files. This option differs from other exports, as it creates a destination file for each selected object, automating the export process. Figure 1: Export to Multiple Files. This way, in addition to making it possible to export objects to several files in all formats available in MinePlan, it also allows the application of some prefix in their naming and the option of overwriting or adding to files that already exist in the destination path. And then, did you like it...

Polyline Snap : Using Snap on polylines to scan sections automatically. Did you know that MinePlan 3D (MP3D) has a feature that allows you to use Snap on polylines and take advantage of existing objects? The Polyline Snap option allows using the points belonging to an existing polyline or polygon to guide the creation of new elements. This snap can be enabled through the Snap menu or using the keyboard shortcut number 4. When drawing a new polyline or polygon, just click on a starting point and an ending point of an existing element. The shorter segment, located between these two points, will then be digitized in the created element, being highlighted in Highlight with a greater thickness, as shown in the following figure. When pressing the Delete or Backspace keys right after placing the point…
